MARKET OUTLOOK
Despite the muted VIX Index, investors should be aware of the risks or rising volatility in the market. Given the rising geopolitical risks from unrest in the Korean peninsula, the upcoming French election and the recently-announced U.K. election, a barbell approach offers the best approach to the market. One end of the barbell should be comprised of dividend growth stocks and the other levered to growth stocks, which will insulate investors somewhat from both good and bad market-moving news.
